The music industry wants its money back from those copyright vigilantes at Pirate Bay, and now it sees a decent chance to get it, reports CNET. An industry trade group plans to go after the $3.6 million in damages awarded by a Swedish court now that a software company has announced it will buy the file-sharing website for $7.8 million.

That may be easier said than done. Global Gaming Factory hasn’t actually bought Pirate Bay yet—its investors and board of directors need to authorize the issuing of new shares in order to raise the cash. Secondly, the four Swedes fined for running the site don’t actually own it: they sold the Pirate Bay to a company in the Seychelles islands called Reservella after the first search and seizure in 2006.
